The audience, which was compose
of some OF the most prominent peopi
of this city, filled the two large gal
learies until there was nc
room for any more, and
large number Of people were forced
stand around the ropes, which KEEP
the crowds back from the ;rincipa
portion OF the floor during the CRANE
march. The large hall presented
mot brilliant scene, to which tn,
rich colorfng OF the various booths
erected entirely around the building
underneath the galleries, added ;

gallery, has been partitionel off as al

OF the most graceful and fairest OF the

hands in distributing the most deli

His Honor, Mayor w. III. Work
man, had been asked to open the Car,
nival, and q few moments after S
he was escorted to the stage and in
troduced to the audience, when he
delivered the following address, in his
usual impressive manner. He said
Ladies aud Gentlemen 1t at
this Carnival, and the large number
present must be very encouraging to
those who have labored so hard to
make it success.
The State, the home, the school,
the church are p e-eminent among
the institutions of humanity. With
out them, no nation has ever reached
a high type OF civilization. There
fore, he who lahors that the country
of which he is a citizen may he true to
its own hiah functions, may in Justice
and r ghteousness enact and admin
lister laws fer the encouragement of
industry and virtue and the protec-
ton OF the rights OF all. renders very,
important service 10 the community
at trge.
He who, by precept and EXAMPLE,
fosters the true spirit Of the home,
keeping its altar fire bfi.ht, and its
atmosphere sweet and pure, holding
and protecting it as a hiding place
from the world, citadel OF the hart,
the nursery OF childhood and u bull
wark OF civilization, deserves the re-
spect and gratitude OF all.
He who stands by the school as one
Of the great institrtions that, as the
result of protracted experience, close
observation, anda profound conscious
ness of human necessities, has been
gradually built up as the most etftc-
tual means of developing the mind
and bringing it into direct contact
with the truth, the natural food for
thought, is u public benefactor and
ought to be SO regarded.
And he who nourishes and cher
ishes, and works for the church, as
the foster-mother of the moral sense,
the educator OF the conscience, the
great torch-bearer of the individual,
amid the temptations and besetmenis
of lile-the church that seeks to re-
lieve the monotony and break the
tyranny of the material senses, by
kindling h CHER aspirations and be-
getting immortal hopes, lightens
human burdens and strengthens the
human soul.
The Church of the Unity, on whose
behalf this carnival is held, is one of
the youngest Of the churches of our
city; and though l have never at
tended any of its services, yet as | am
credibly informed, it is in a very
promising condition, and it addresses
the thoughtful and the liberal. We
were not all made after one theologi.
cal mould, as we were not al made
after one political mould. Till the
end of time there will doubtless be
religious sects, as there will be politi-
cal parties. Let each do its own work
in its own way, and even the SHARP
attriiion If ideas and aims will be far
better than intellectual stagnation,
as it will serve to keep each sect and
party faithful in its chosen field of
thought and of practical activity.
This carnival is held for the pur-
pose OF aiding the Church OF the
Unity in procuring an organ
for its church edifice, soon to be
erected. And as in our City of the
Angels there is room for all churches,
societies and associations that sec < to
do good and as, actuated by the right
spirit, each will supplement the
other, we should heartily wish that
success may attend them all. Among
the broad-minded of our city, the
Church of the Unity has large con-
stituency. True to its name, may it
unite people in all good work, and
may great success attend the carnival
which now declare to be opened"
AT the close the audience made the
Pavilion ring again with the most vo-
ciferous applause, and his Honor was
forced to bow repeatedly before he
was permitted to take his seat. When
he did so, motion was made to vote
the thanks of the participants, as we'll
as the audience, unanimously to the
Mayor for so kindly responding to the
invitation to open the carnival, and it
was carried as if by one voice, after
which the Mayor stepped down and
mingled with the crowd. In few
moments the band struck up march
and the King and Queen of the Car
nival made their entrance. They
were preceded by company of mill
tia, clad in uniforms composed of red
coats ami dark blue pantaloons, car
rying lances and wearing spiked
helmets.
The King was represented by DR..
f. w. Fowler, who acted the part
with dignity and nobleness of bear.
